 | The United States Air Force (USAF) is currently faced with a rapid proliferation of micro-computer-based training systems. This rapid growth is an attempt to increase training productivity to compensate for increased training demands and decreasing training resources. However, noncompatible training systems can actually increase costs for training administration, support, and development. This study addresses these problems by examining the feasibility and benefits of developing a generic or generic family of ... |

|
 | The objective was to determine quantitative relationships between human resource variables and technician performance on maintenance tasks for nuclear missile systems. Human resource variables relevant to maintenance operations were identified and instruments for measuring these variables were developed. Task performance measures were developed. An eleven-category taxonomy was developed for coding the maintenance tasks. Data on task performance, human resource variables, and technician opinions were collected. Statistical analyses of the data ... |

|
| This report describes a project to evaluate the effectiveness of three types of technical data for troubleshooting, fully proceduralized troubleshooting aids (FPTA), logic tree troubleshooting aids (LTTA), and technical orders (TOs). In the project, FPTAs and LTTAs, were developed for two moderately complex electronic systems, the AN/APN-147 and AN/ASN-35. The effectiveness of the technical data and the existing TOs for the systems were then evaluated by determining which provided the ... |

|
| This volume contains a guide for the administration of job performance tests used in a study to evaluate the effectiveness of three types of technical data for troubleshooting. The performance tests measure the ability of technicians to troubleshoot 15 typical malfunctions in the AN/APN-147 doppler radar and AN/ASN-35 navigational computer. The tests are specifically designed to measure performance using the three types of data - fully proceduralized troubleshooting aids, logic ... |

|
| A multiphased study was conducted to lead to the development of methods for determining the components and measuring the effects of advances in technology on human resources in Air Force weapon systems. The first phase of the study was reported in AD-A000 051. The second phase involved the development of Design Option Decision Trees (DODT) for two areas of Air Force systems technology: Digital Avionics Information System (DAIS) and Remotely ... |

|
| The DODTs for a DAIS system were developed to determine the decision points in a design process which may be of importance in projecting the input of new technology on human resource parameters. The DODTs for the DAIS system were refined through the process of extensive reevaluation by experts in the field both in industry and the Air Force. They were then used in another phase of the study to ... |

|
| A long standing research objective of the human factors psychologist has been the capability to predict the human resource requirements of new equipment. An even more intriguing problem is the prediction of human resource requirements based on the introduction of new technology. The purpose of this study was to locate and apply an existing method, or to develop a new procedure for quantifying the effects of incoming technology. A procedure ... |

|
| A research objective of the Air Force Human Resources Laboratory is the development of methods for defining the components of innovative technology and for measuring the effects of the incoming technology on Air Force human resources. The human resource parameters of concern include manpower (e.g., numbers, job types, skill levels), training considerations, and cost data. Earlier investigations established the feasibility of using human resources data in design trade studies and ... |
